Timing belt & tensioner changing - RFJ engine

Post by atr »

Hi all
I would like to ask your advise. I need to change the timing belt on my C5 2007 petrol (2.0l) facelift. as far as I know it's a RFJ / EW10A engine - plz correct me if I'm wrong. could you direct me to a guide or any other source of information? I've searched on youtube but didn't found.
first, is it possible to carry out while the vehicle is on the ground, since I don't have a lift?
are there special tools for it?
looking forward for your comments.
Thanx.

Hi
I've seen that a special tool - "adapter for angular tightening" - 4069T is needed. does any of the forum members have any details/info regarding it? how to make one?
Thanx for your help.

For a one off, you can estimate the angle required. Presume this is for the crank shaft pulley bolt? 60deg is one flat; 120deg 2 flats etc. A couple of blobs of tipp ex, one on the pulley next to a point on the bolt, and another to mark the starting point on the bolt, and then turn it till they are the requisite amount apart.

4069T is just a version of a simple angular torque gauge. eBay will be able to help in sourcing one of them :)

http://www.halfords.ie/workshop-tools/t ... -gauge-1-2You'd need to put the front of the car up on axle stands, as already mentioned you don't really need an angle gauge they're not expensive if you want to use one
Oh buggle
